Too cool...

As a Northeasterner, I am fascinated with armadillos. I went on a bicycle trip across southern Kansas last year and in the 500 or so miles I pedaled, I saw enough roadkill armadillos to satisfy my curiosity. I always wondered if anyone used any part of them for anything. Nice job!

Stay sharp,

Very nice. There is definitely a lot of Armadillo running around to make good use of them. Never thought of it. Great idea.
